Curious Creature: Corporate computer policies and GTD

  • John B. Kendrick · 1 year ago
    At least you got a taste of Mac and OS X at work. I just tried to get an annual Citrix license to support remoting in from my Mac at home and got the reply, "No, we are not going to support Macs". This after I even offered to pay for the license. No matter, I just installed the Citrix client in Windows XP which I have running on my Mac using Parallels.

    I do agree that web apps are the way to go for GTD. The system I use allows me to view my entire GTD at work on my Win machine, at home on my Macs and even on my cell phone. And another app lets me call in tasks to my GTD without any writing or typing, great for those thoughts that hit me while driving. I've written about my experiences with GTD in a blog post at http://johnkendrick.wordpress.com/2008/03/27/mo... John

    Yeah John you're right..I did get a taste. But its like the slogan for Jays potato chips "you can't eat just one" :)

    The thing that makes me laugh is that all of our development software works faster on the Mac. The OS is more secure. And Leopard is 64bit so the 4GB sitting in the system is fully useable - unlike on Windows. It's totally ridiculous.

    I think I'll be doing some form of GTD again with Remember the Milk (no iphone version though..not for $25), Google Calendar, GMail, and Evernote. List keeping in Evernote seems like a good bet considering the availability for Windows/Mac/iPhone/Web. The Mac client is lacking at the moment but its there and everything syncs up.

    I really like the Firefox plugin from RTM for integrating with GMail. Very nice.

    Thanks for commenting.

    Hmmm...apparently ToodleDo for the iPhone is useable even with the free version. Maybe its worth another look even though the last time I tried it I wasn't happy with the notes feature. I could probably live with that though for $15 a year. $10 less than RTM.
